are you completely wedging the potato into the exhaust or are you just setting it there?

From what I've read it depends on the type of potato.
I believe a white potato would create a tighter seal than a sweet potato.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong please because it's been awhile since I've heard about it and i can't remember where I read it

Does anyone have a real answer?
I'm curious what a total blockage in the exhaust would do as well.
